How are wedding plans going for Valerie Bertinelli (who, at age 50, recently got engaged to businessman Tom Vitale)?
"He's planning it -- I have nothing to do with it!" she told UsMagazine.com Monday at the premiere of her new TV Land comedy Hot in Cleveland. "I just have to find a dress!"

She said they're still "deciding" if they want a big or small wedding.
Added Bertinelli, "We may end up eloping because we just can't decide on the guest list!"
Bertinelli -- who said she is "quite the opposite" of a bridezilla -- told Us finding love later in life has been "really special."
"We've both been around quite a bit and we both have had marriages that failed, but there are still good parts of those marriages," said Bertinelli, who was previously wed to rocker Eddie Van Halen (with whom she has a son, Wolf, 19). "So we're taking the good parts and hopefully not bringing the bad with us!"

7I met Valerie in 1984 in New Orleans. We spent about an hour together while Eddie was playing a gig. She was the greatest. My advice is elope, have a passionate honeymoon and when you get home have a party for all your friends.
This is a great couple and best wishes for a long life together.
Good luck to Valerie. This guy is nice looking, and hopefully will treat her right. She is an attractive lady, that seems to have a great deal of class. I'm happy for their nuptials.
She is such a classy lady with such comments about her failed marriage; there were good parts. It's so refreshing to see someone not bashing an individual they shared their life with...after all, what does it say about you if you stay so long with someone who is bad for you? Good look to you and your man...loved you since I was a kid....Blessings
All the best to you and Tom, Valerie!
Do whatever makes you happy, Valerie!
She traded up. Eddie's ugly. Talented, yes, but ugly.
